Not every thought that comes to us while praying prophetically for people is from God. It may be beautiful, it may be encouraging but it may not be what God wants to say to that person or group of people at the time. Random thoughts always pass through our minds and we must discern what is from God and what is not. These thoughts are not necessarily from the enemy.I use James 3:17 as a standard to judge whether something is from God or not. "The wisdom from above is first of all peaceful, easily entreated, full of mercy and good fruits,without partiality and without hypocrisy." I saw an ad today on Facebook for a Meditative Retreat Centre, held in an ancient Italian monastery that was offering Tai Chi along with prayer. Watch out for mixture. We want a pure and powerful life that only Jesus offers by the Holy Spirit indwelling and leading us.
Grateful for this post and wonderfully worded/said. This is teaching that is absolutely necessary and so helpful. Blessings, Jane. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane,
ReplyDeleteHope you are well...without asking my 10-yr old (LOL), I'm posting here to request a prophetic word. Thank you serving Him!
Hi Jane,
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention, if you would, please send through Facebook e-mail.
Thank you!
@Dennis: You have just verified the reason God wants me to only pray for people here on the Blog. There are over 20 Dennis Prestons on Facebook so it is impossible to send you a Message. Anyway, this is what God showed me. be blessed!
ReplyDeleteI saw you sitting in the front of a train, wearing an engineer's cap, then I saw a large number of passenger cars behind you. All of the Passenger cars were full. I sense that God is reminding you that He is the train. It is His energy, not yours, that moves the train along to its destination. You are like a watchman aware of all threats to the safety of the train's passengers.I pray that this picture will lift many heavy burdens off you. Please let me know if this speaks to you. Love, Jane
